Gov. Gavin Newsom said California is entering the track-installation phase of its high-speed rail project after the state completed a staging facility in Kern County.
In a Feb. 3 announcement, Newsom, a Democrat, said the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) completed the Southern Railhead Facility, a 150-acre site near Wasco—around 25 miles northwest of Bakersfield. The site will operate as a central logistics hub for the delivery, storage, and deployment of materials to electrify and operate the system.
